UNDEFEATABLE MARTIAL MASTER, VOLUME 2 - Season 3 Episode 40

After asking around, Xu Ning finally found the Cheng family.

“May I ask if Cheng Zengtao is in the mansion?”

Xu Ning came to the Cheng family mansion. “You are finding Elder Cheng Zengtao?”

The Cheng family guard glanced at Xu Ning.

Xu Ning did not deliberately hide his aura, so the guard easily noticed that Xu Ning was a martial arts master.

“May I ask who you are?”

The guard was very polite.

“Just say that I’m from the Faint Bamboo Forest.”

Xu Ning obviously wouldn’t tell the guard his real intentions.

“Please wait a moment.”

The guard quickly reported.

Soon after, the guard walked out with a middle-aged man.

‘Third stage dao realm, origin returnance master…’

Xu Ning sensed the strength of the middle-aged man.

“I am Cheng Zengtao.”

When Cheng Zengtao heard that the people from the Faint Bamboo Forest were visiting, he put down his work and took the initiative to welcome them.

Cheng Zengtao knew the significance of the Faint Bamboo Forest to the Swallow Heron Sect, so when he heard that her people were coming, he naturally didn’t dare to delay.

After expressing his identity, Cheng Zengtao glanced at Xu Ning first, then noticed Gray on Xu Ning’s shoulder.

Although he did not confirm that it was a void beast immediately, he did notice that Gray was not an ordinary demon beast. Its bloodline was not inferior at all.

“Are you from the Faint Bamboo Forest? Why do you look unfamiliar?” Cheng Zengtao looked away from Gray and asked.

He had always regarded rebuilding the Swallow Heron Sect as an important matter, and because of this, he had visited Leng Ran many times in the bamboo forest.

Therefore, he remembered all the important people in the Faint Bamboo Forest.

But Cheng Zengtao had never seen Xu Ning before, so he was a little suspicious.

Xu Ning smiled when he heard this. A black token suddenly appeared in his hand.

As soon as it was revealed, the black token was put back into Xu Ning’s sleeve.

Although he only showed it briefly, Cheng Zengtao still saw the appearance of the token.

‘Sect token!’

Cheng Zengtao’s heart was in turmoil.

“Please come in!”

Cheng Zengtao calmed down and took the initiative to lead Xu Ning into his study.

After entering the study, Cheng Zengtao made some arrangements to ensure that no one would disturb their conversation.

“Are you holding a sect token?”

Cheng Zengtao stared at Xu Ning.

“Yes.”

Xu Ning took out the sect token and handed it to Cheng Zengtao. After Cheng Zengtao carefully took it, he gently rubbed it and confirmed that the sect token belonged to the Swallow Heron Sect.

“The Swallow Heron Sect!”

Cheng Zengtao looked excited. “Who are you exactly, and why is the sect token of the Swallow Heron Sect in your hands?”

He knew that Wan Ye had fled State Wansheng with the sect token.

Over the years, he had been worried about Wan Ye’s safety. “My name is Xu Ning, and this sect token was personally handed to me by Senior Wan Ye.”

Xu Ning said slowly.

Cheng Zengtao’s eyes trembled as he sized up at Xu Ning “Are you serious?”

Cheng Zengtao knew the significance of this action.

If what Xu Ning said was true, then Xu Ning was the new sect master of the Swallow Heron Sect selected by Wan Ye.

Xu Ning did not explain. He took out Leng Ran’s letter and handed it to Cheng Zengtao.

“Senior Leng Ran…”

Cheng Zengtao sensed the mark Leng Ran had left on the letter.

This showed that this letter was written by Leng Ran.

Cheng Zengtao opened the letter and quickly read it.

Although Xu Ning didn’t know what was written in the letter, he could roughly guess that the contents were Leng Ran’s credentials for him.

The sect token and Leng Ran’s letter were enough for Cheng Zengtao to trust his identity.

Sure enough, after reading the letter, Cheng Zengtao looked at Xu Ning differently.

He faced Xu Ning with a respectful gaze and bowed deeply.

“Greetings, Sect Master!”

Cheng Zengtao had officially recognized Xu Ning as the sect master of the Swallow Heron Sect.

In Leng Ran’s letter, Cheng Zengtao learned about Xu Ning’s identity.

“Senior Brother Cheng, there is no need to be so polite.”

Xu Ning quickly grabbed Cheng Zengtao’s arm.

He also knew that in the process of rebuilding the Swallow Heron Sect, Cheng Zengtao would become his right-hand man.

“Sect Master, I have been waiting a hundred years for this day…”

Cheng Zengtao’s voice was trembling.

The scene before the collapse of the Swallow Heron Sect quickly flashed in his mind.

The painful memories of the disbandment of the sect and the death of his master still lingered in his mind.

“In the future, if Sect Master needs anything, just tell me.”

Cheng Zengtao expressed his stance. “Senior Brother Cheng, you don’t have to be so polite.”

Xu Ning said, “According to Senior Leng Ran’s guidance, I should be the one to listen to you. After all, I am not from State Wansheng, and I have no experience in forming a sect. If I want to restore the glory of the Swallow Heron Sect, some things have to be done by Senior Brother Cheng.” After chatting for a while, both sides acknowledged each other.

Both Xu Ning and Cheng Zengtao had established a stable trust between the two sides through Leng Ran’s letter.

“Now that we have the sect token, what is Sect Master’s first step?”

Cheng Zengtao began to ask. He couldn’t wait to rebuild the sect.

“I have no idea, but since we are going to pass on the sect, the disciples of the sect must be the foundation.”

Xu Ning said, “Before I came to State Wansheng, Senior Wan Ye told me not to be too hasty in the beginning stages and to not make a fuss.”

Cheng Zengtao nodded thoughtfully.

“Sect Master, in fact, after the sect was forced to disband back then, there were still some disciples I kept in contact with.”

After a pause, Cheng Zengtao said, “These disciples still have old ties with the Swallow Heron Sect, and many of them have expressed their wish for me to lead and rebuild the sect.” “Oh?”

Xu Ning’s eyes lit up. “Can we gather these people again?”

In Xu Ning’s opinion, if the loyal old members of the Swallow Heron Sect could gather again, then the rebuilding of the sect could immediately begin.

“Of course.”

Cheng Zengtao gave Xu Ning an affirmative answer. “If Sect Master allows it, I will handle this matter. I will send out the news today and let those people come to the Cheng family.”

“Okay.”

Xu Ning nodded. “Sect Master, not only must there be people in the sect, but there must also be a sect.”

Cheng Zengtao said again, “It’s just that our old location has been occupied by other sects. If we take the initiative to take it back now, I’m afraid it will attract the attention of the Wind Parasol Pavilion and the Green Edge Sect.”

The Wind Parasol Pavilion and the Green Edge Sect were the enemies that forced the Swallow Heron Sect to collapse.

Xu Ning could hear Cheng Zengtao’s hatred for the Wind Parasol Pavilion and the Green Edge Sect.

“Just before the sect was destroyed, the people from the Wind Parasol Pavilion and the Green Edge Sect pressured us too much. In order to protect us disciples from being implicated, Master took the initiative to disband the sect and took revenge on the two sects with his own body. In the end, he died.” Cheng Zengtao said, “Elder Wan Ye also wanted to take revenge for Master, but he was also hunted down after failing. Some of the core disciples of our sect were also targeted by the two sects. If it weren’t for Senior Leng Ran and the elders of my Cheng family, we might have been killed.”

“With these two sects around, we have to act cautiously and secretly strengthen the Swallow Heron Sect.” “Do you have a location in mind for the sect?”

Xu Ning asked.

“If Sect Master doesn’t mind, the location of the sect will be temporarily set at a villa outside Liuyan County. That villa is the property of the Cheng family, and it has not been officially used yet. There are only some servants taking care of it.”

Cheng Zengtao said.

“In that case, the location of our sect will be there temporarily.”

Xu Ning agreed.

Just like Leng Ran said, with Cheng Zengtao’s help, rebuilding the sect would be much easier.

“Sect Master…”

After finalizing the two important matters, Cheng Zengtao hesitated.

“Senior Brother Cheng, just say what you want to say.”

Xu Ning was straightforward.

“Sect Master, you were given a sect token by Elder Wan Ye, so you must have excellent martial arts talent.”

Cheng Zengtao carefully chose his words. “To rebuild the sect, your strength is the core… Only after you advance to the core materialization realm will we be qualified to stand tall and let the Swallow Heron Sect stand under the sun again, without fear of the threats and suppression of the Wind Parasol Pavilion and the Green Edge Sect…”

“I know what you mean.”

Before Cheng Zengtao could finish speaking, Xu Ning interrupted him.

Cheng Zengtao was beating around the bush because he wanted to understand his martial arts talent.

“You should also notice that I am a dao realm second stage astral qi realm master.”

Xu Ning said, “Half a year ago, when I first met Senior Wan Ye, I had just condensed six attribute seeds and was still a true domain realm martial artist at that time.”

“What!?”

Cheng Zengtao felt blood rushing to his head.

For Cheng Zengtao, it was unheard of for a true domain realm martial artist to advance from the second stage to the dao realm in just half a year.

After advancing to the dao realm, the difficulty of advancing each realm increases sharply.

Take Cheng Zengtao as an example. He was once the top genius of the Swallow Heron Sect, but this was how he was now. He had been practicing martial arts for a hundred and fifty years, and he had just broken through to the origin returnance realm not long ago.

But Xu Ning had advanced two realms in half a year, which made Cheng Zengtao feel surreal.

“Sect Master, are you serious?”

Cheng Zengtao couldn’t believe it.

Because this completely exceeded his understanding.

Even for the imperial princes and princesses, not many of them could do this.

“I am.”

Xu Ning gave Cheng Zengtao an affirmative reply.

Cheng Zengtao pursed his lips. With the current exchanges he had with Xu Ning, Cheng Zengtao felt that Xu Ning was not an arrogant person. Moreover, there was no need to lie to him. ‘Is this why Elder Wan Ye chose him as the sect master?’

Cheng Zengtao gradually got out of his shock and replaced it with expectations for the future of the Swallow Heron Sect.

“I hope Sect Master can advance to the core materialization realm as soon as possible and restore the glory of the Swallow Heron Sect!”

Cheng Zengtao said to Xu Ning seriously.

Xu Ning nodded. “I will not disappoint you.”

“Sect Master, you don’t have a residence right now, so you should temporarily stay in the mansion. After gathering those loyal disciples, we will move to the villa on the outskirts.”

Cheng Zengtao calmed down and said to Xu Ning

“In that case, I would have to bother you.”

Xu Ning did not hesitate.

Xu Ning was also trying to adapt to his new identity.

The rebuilding of the Swallow Heron Sect had begun.
